dc.description.abstract	Zinc sulphide nanoparticles were chemically synthesized.Precussors involved zinc oxide, hydrochloric acid at varying concetrations and sodium sulphide. The Hexa decyltrimethyl ammonium bromide a capping agent. The functinal groups and the chemical characteristics were determined by FTIR.The optical band gap will be determined by UV-VIS specrometer. Antimicrobial activity of the synthesized ZnS nanoparticles was carried out using disc diffusion method against oral pathogens.	en_US
